The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Hampshire we are encountering an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And of course never turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. Assuming you did start the car you will almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

In the event that you end up in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our experts have got the technical knowledge and working experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
